Well I said I may fish a farm pond in Rockville today but at the last minute I decided to make the long drive to Briery without the boat again. That will be my last trip without the boat. I had no luck, no bites. The weather was terrible. The highlight of my day was having the Game Warden check my license. I also threw a bird nest so bad that it would make a crow proud. It was so bad I had to cut all my line off and re-spool. Better luck next time.

Well I finally made my first trip to Briery. Didnt bother taking the boat due to weather. Mainly wanted to see the place first hand before taking the boat there in spring. Great looking lake, cant wait til it warms up a little. Im sure this is going to be my favorite new spot. Also stopped by Sandy for the first time. Tried my luck there too but only managed to lose a jig. Come on Spring!
